Behavioral researcher and author Alfie Kohn likes to tell a joke that many small business owners can no doubt relate to:

An elderly man who lives near a school is regularly harassed by a group of students.,Leadership is not about imposing your will on others, it has more to do with understanding people,” says Dr. Steve Vargo, a business consultant with IDOC and author of Eye on Leadership, An Optometrist’s Game Plan For Creating A Motivated and Empowered Team.,Says Dan Ariely, professor of psychology and behavioral economics at the Fuqua School of Business: “The question for your staff should be, ‘Can I do one small thing to get better today?’,In other words, people who enjoy meetings are those who don’t like getting things done.,The key question for distinguishing a worthwhile meeting from a worthless one seems to be this: is it a “status-report” meeting so employees can tell each other things?read more

You might or might not have agreed with their politics, but there was no way you could dispute that amassing wealth (for themselves and their families and friends) or self-aggrandisement – temptations so common among political leaders of many parties these days – was not their motivation.,Little did I know then that I would have the privilege of working closely with George Saab – yes, I, like most of his admirers, always called him “George Saab” – during my long association with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the National Democratic Alliance government headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee.,Defeating the Congress party’s SK Patil, the city’s “uncrowned king”, in the 1967 parliamentary election was as much a tribute to George Fernandes’ leadership qualities as to Bombay’s inclusive character those days.,Image: Facebook/ George FernandesIt was during his years as India’s defence minister and the NDA’s convenor that I (then working in Vajpayee’s Prime Minister’s Office) came in close contact with George Saab.,When I look back, it seems to me that George Saab’s innate simplicity and honesty were targeted by his political opponents in the Congress party.

That number might sound unimpressive, but consider: Investments in index funds and ETFs have outpaced inflow into actively managed funds in recent years, according to Charles Schwab (SCHW), with Bogle's Vanguard Institutional Index Fund — now $168.22 billion — leading the tidal change.,"Investors have withdrawn $500 billion from actively managed funds (including ETFs) and put $600 billion into index funds over the past five years," Bogle told IBD.,The next year Bogle, influenced greatly by American economists Eugene Fama and Burton Malkiel, both champions of long-term investing, founded the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, the nation's first index mutual fund.,Mark Hebner, president of Irvine, Calif.-based wealth-management firm Index Fund Advisors, references the long run that Bogle's "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" has enjoyed as the No. 1 investing book on Amazon.com and says the index king's brilliance stems from the simple fact that "markets are efficient.",Bottom line, Bogle believes that index funds will become more popular than actively managed products.

During the game, the host’s dog, a Staffordshire bull terrier mixed breed, spends the evening hanging out near the poker table munching on a meaty hambone.,Nonetheless, this oft vilified dog (pit bull is actually not a breed, but an umbrella term that includes many breeds that descended from bulldogs and terriers), boasts many devoted advocates and dedicated defenders who passionately proclaim the pit bull “breeds” should not be condemned because of a few bad actors.,Initially, pit bull breeds were was trained for bull baiting and dog fighting, and evolved tremendous jaw strength and an aggressive swagger along the way.,Pit bulls accounted for 284 (that’s 66 percent) of those deaths despite the fact that the dog represents only about six percent of the country’s entire canine population.,That’s right, it was my former student’s whose-life-I-saved dog that attacked me and sent me to the ER that night, an event which, in a remarkable coincidence, also occurred the week before Christmas as did his alcoholic misadventure more than forty years before.

"The market's basically saying that they're really concerned about Europe, they don't think it's the growth story it was and they've got concerns about the Australian franchisee business.,Counter consensus
Liking out-of-favour companies is nothing new for Henricks, who believes his best stock calls were the ones that made him uncomfortable at the time.,"Macquarie was flying at the time," says Henricks.,The departure of Patrick Hodgens, James Miller, Henricks and several other members of the equities team was noteworthy because of their stellar performance managing the Macquarie High Conviction Fund, the best-performing Australian equities fund over 10 years.,Henricks says he has developed an insight into the shorthand that businesses rely on to manage market expectations.

This is all in spite of the fact that there has been a fair deal of good news coming from the cryptocurrency and blockchain world, with a number of institutional companies and investors getting involved in the market with even more to follow.,So when we talk about there being a degree of asymmetry, it emerges in a number of different ways, an example of this is the degree in which the investor informed regarding the market, including whether or not the project has lived up to the sometimes lofty ambitions it has on delivering innovation to both investors and users.,This is very similar to the disparity and situation that exists between investors, projects find themselves in a similar distribution of technical prowess; with a small number of projects making sure that what they deliver on a practical level lines up as close as possible with the White Paper they publish.,Conversely, there are a good number of projects out there that have been funded using some kind of bait and switch, resulting in their market valuation collapsing over time, especially once investors catch onto what they're claiming.,In order to navigate this effectively, here are some tips to follow

Working closely with your team, and the blockchain and cryptocurrency community at large, this ecosystem can take a great deal of large steps forward in order to stamp out unneccesary market volatility, as well as prevent the preventable loss of ambitious projects.read more
